prelighting 

When your girl asks a leading question, that will get you in trouble regardless of the answer.

Person 1:If I was a caterpillar would you still love me.
Person 2: No that's prelighting

prefighting 

It's what siblings are doing when they are just talking to each other. It can be extended to married people as well. It usually lasts around 10 minutes and matures into fighting. Children fall into one of 4 statuses at any given time, Sleeping, eating, prefighting and fighting.

That's so cute they are prefighting so nicely.
